ASSOCIATES

HOW IS THE JOB PICTURE NOW?

1. 2014 SAW THE GREATEST NUMBER OF JOBS ADDED IN 15 YEARS

2. STEADY AND CONSISTENT JOB GROWTH FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS

3. TIGHTENING LABOR MARKET

4. OPTIMISM ON JOB CREATION FOR FIRST TIME IN MANY YEARS

PROBLEMS WITH THIS ROSY PICTURE?WAGE GROWTH OR RATHER LACK OF IT

• WE HAVE SEEN WAGE GROWTH IN THE FINANCE, INSURANCE AND REAL ESTATE INDUSTRIES BUT THESE WERE INDUSTRIES HARD HIT BY THE RECESSION

• LABOR PARTICIPATION AT ALL TIME LOW

• WAGE GROWTH AT THE 1.5 – 2% LEVEL WHERE 3.5-4% IS NEEDED FOR A REAL RECOVERY

SO WHY BOTHER KICK-STARTING NOW?

• PREVIOUS SLIDE SHOWED WAGE GROWTH HAS BEEN LOW FOR 6 YEARS

• BUT FIRMS ARE PLANNING TO RAMP UP COMPENSATION LEVELS TO MEET NEEDS – FIRST TIME SEEN THAT LEVEL IN MANY YEARS

• NOW IS THE TIME TO REALLY PLAN AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOME POSITIVE GROWTH NEWS AND GET YOUR CAREER GOING NOW!

WHERE IS THE GROWTH HAPPENING?

• GROWTH IS HAPPENING IN ALL SECTORS BUT SEVERAL AREAS HAVE SEEN REAL GROWTH IN JOBS AND WAGES ALREADY – MANUFACTURING

• MANUFACTURING HAS KEPT THE ECONOMY GROWING FOR YEARS NOW AND IT IS POISED FOR REAL GROWTH

IF MANUFACTURING IS THE ANSWER WHAT IS OUT THERE?

• EVERY YEAR THERE ARE 800,000 MANUFACTURING JOBS THAT GO UNFILLED. THIS IS FROM THE MANUFACTURING INSTITUTE.

• MOST JOBS REQUIRE LITTLE MORE THAN A 3 MONTH TRAINING PROGRAM THAT START AT 18 DOLLARS AN HOUR

• MANY JOBS REQUIRE ONLY A 2 YEAR DEGREE WITH 4 YEAR ENGINEERING DEGREES STARTING IN THE 50K+ RANGE

• IT RUNS THE GAMUT OF TRADITIONAL MANUFACTURING TO INTELLIGENT MANUFACTURING AND THE INTERNET OF THINGS
